Yeshi, my wife, passed away on 20 September after a sudden heart attack. She was 73 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $650 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 4 October.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Yeshi to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank.
Where the $650 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $370
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $150
• Transport of the deceased: $60
• Memorial gathering for the family: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
